Are restaurants allowed to serve you the food they served wrongly to another diner?

As per title, what do you when you spot a server placing your order on another table by mistake? Would you reject the food?
Occurred to me… server served the food to another table. Diner was coughing. Diner informed server that they didnt order this food while still coughing. Server checked order chit and served the food to my table.
What would you guys have done?

- Reject it. Tell them to make it again.
- I would ask if I can cancel the dish and explain why. No need to replenish the same dish that might get a detour.
- I would have sent it back. If it was a couple of seconds and relatively untouched then sure no problem. But if another person was coughing over it then sorry no.
Yes there’s the risk that the kitchen just reheats it in the back but what can you do. - its like passing the covid courtesy from another table.
but if the food is relatively untouched (meaning its covered with something or sorts) then i would just eat it.
i’m the don’t waste any food type of person - No, because that dish should be prepared for that specific customer. You serve the guy the wrong the dish, that’s on the restaurant. Plus this guy was coughing all over it, I’m not taking it.
- I would go into the kitchen and cook it myself.
